Following Huddersfield Town’s Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final victory over Reading, the 2016/17 EFL season is officially over!

Now, all eyes turn to the 2017/18 season, and it won’t be long before the planning begins. The date for your diary? 21st June 2017… #FixtureReleaseDay. This season has been a truly memorable one, with twists, turns, and triumphant tales. Here’s a little recap of the culmination of the past nine months.

Newcastle United were crowned champions of the Sky Bet Championship, snatching the title away from Brighton & Hove Albion in the dying minutes of the final game.

The Seagulls were still promoted, however, in second place, and will be joined in the top flight by Huddersfield Town after their Wembley win over Reading.
